Top of the line, award winning, lightweight collapsible anchor ideal for boats 39-45 ft in length. Incredible as a secondary, stern or storm anchor because it can be disassembled and is lightweight, compact and easy to store. Despite it's light weight (15 lbs, made of anodized aluminum alloy) it has incredible holding power, sets easily, and is an ideal anchor for many bottom types (as good as it gets in sand and mud). The fluke angle is adjustable — 32 degrees for sand and 45 degrees for soft mud - so it can be optimized to your usual conditions. Very easily retrievable due to it's design.

]]> Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:04:37 GMT [SOLD] Folding Stainless Northhill anchor $200 https://www.bluewatercruising.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1821228 https://www.bluewatercruising.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1821228 Folding anchor. Made out of stainless steel plate. The flukes and the cross bar both fold up to a compact size. Orginally made for sea planes, but also used on boats. $200

[also posted on Facebook marketplace with more pictures. Located in Comox]

Top to bottom is 35". Crossbar is 40". Flukes are 12" across. Looking at the size table I'd say this is the 27lb model. It's been my spare on my sailboat but I've got another spare anchor so this one is getting decluttered. More info: http://anchors.synthasite.com/northill-anchor.php
